Hitchings Insurance Agency Inc.

Scammers are working overtime, but you can stay one step ahead. Whether it’s a random text, a "government" phone call, or an urgent email, watch out for these 3 Major Red Flags:

1️⃣ Pressure to act NOW: They want you to panic so you don’t think.

2️⃣ Specific payment methods: If they ask for gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency, hang up.

3️⃣ Links out of nowhere: Never click a link in a text from a "shipping company" or "bank" you weren't expecting.

Pro-tip: When in doubt, go to the source. Call the company back using the official number on their website, not the number that called you!

Spring is on its way, which means summer is to follow! While you're busy checking spark plugs and charging batteries, don't forget to de-winterize your insurance policy!

In Ohio, most specialized toy policies keep you covered year-round, but a lot can change over the winter. Before hitting the water, ask yourself:

Did I add any new gear?

Is the agreed value still accurate?

Are my liability limits ready for a busy season?

We'd love to help you answer these questions. Reach out today to make sure your coverage is as ready as you are!
